I think my mom drunk-mailed me

[Dorothy Wood]

I just opened a message from her that she wrote at about midnight last night. it was basically a big guilt trip, and sort of...apology...for my upbringing? fuck.

all because she's planning her summer vacation right now and wants to meet up with me during it...but I'm not capable of making plans 4 months into the future right now. there are too many variables! bleh!


moms.

Explain to her that a lot can happen in 4 months. Like, you could get pregnant and have a baby by then. And then what?

I was thinking like letter with a stamp mail, not an email.

Bummer. Drunk letter would be awesome.

[Planetary]

I believe you're referring to snail-mail my good man.

[TAL]

I have plans 4 months from now. Can't remember when that happened last time.

You can't apologize for a lackluster upbringing in an email.
You should milk that shit for at least a nice dinner or two.

[Waus]

At least it wasn't a forward.

I can't plan the next day let alone 4 months ahead.But that's the way I like it.

Emails from parents can be weird/funny/sad.

I've gotten scoldings via email, I've gotten kicked out of the house via email, requests to visit me, requests to visit them, requests for me to call/email more, and so on. He even sends weird random email forwards that are usually pretty funny actually.

I wish I had more to say sometimes. I do appreciate the effort he's given since the emails have turned from bad/mean ones to nice ones.

I just feel like every time I'm on the phone or writing an email, I literally have nothing to say.

"Hi Dad,

I was busy at work today, a lot is going on. I went to the gym then went home and watched Purple Rain with my boyfriend. I made a salad for dinner that was pretty darn good."

See? So not worth even sending. The only real highlight of the night was having a really fantastic bone session with the boyfriend and well, I'm not going to tell him that. :|

No, that's 5 months from now.

[Dorothy Wood]

well, I didn't get official confirmation that she was drunk when she wrote the email, but she apologized to me after I was like, "hey, you're crazy, lady, don't make me feel like a jerk!"

parents need to stay off the internets. especially my mom, instead of normal punctuation, she uses ellipses between each statement. from her follow up email:

"I know honey..I didn’t mean for that to sound dramatic or anything….I do know that it is too hard to plan this far in advance…what I meant was I know you have things you need to plan also and I understand that…..do you happen to know the date you will be in Milwaukee ( if you don’t know no prob just asking)…that would be cool...."



eesh.
